As most of us are already aware, Israel has been accused of committing war crimes, AGAIN, but this time there has been a little bit more traction and visibility to the accusations. The recent Goldstone Report, provided to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), is a current example. It was put together by the Goldstone Commission last month and has created an abnormal level of controversy for our Gallant Little Ally.

The Israeli’s are not too happy about the Goldstone Report and in the below article from The Jerusalem Post, we can see why. The assertion is that the Goldstone Report is being used, “to ‘prove’ that Israel’s aim in the fighting was to punish the Palestinian civilian population for Hamas’s military actions.” So they are assuming proof is not proof enough.

For sure, any assertion claiming that Israel is still employing its historic modus operandi of ‘collective punishment’, cluster bombing, and targeting civilians, just aint cool man! You know, the atrocities and human rights violations that actually create the Osama bin Ladens of the world, that guarantee the bin Ladens of the world will always be around. And thanks to US Foreign policy, this is exactly what puts the United States of America at odds with that entire region. It is the reason why we have to take our shoes off at the airport. The beacon of democracy in the Middle East needs to always be perceived as being the model of playing nice and Israel is finding that harder and harder to pull off, despite a stranglehold on mass media.

So in the Jerusalem Post article the thing I find most fascinating is reading the different Israeli officials bickering. It is kind of funny really. But you really must know how to interpret and understand Israeli Political Babble. I am proficient so I am going to attempt to translate, though admittedly my Israeli Political Babble is a little rusty.

Let’s look at what Gabriela Shalev (the cutie pictured above) had to say. She is the Israeli ambassador to the UN, so she was speaking from New York of course. Shalev thinks that the real challenge “facing Israel over the Goldstone Report is political and not legal”. So that roughly translates into Israel does not need to worry about war crime tribunals or anything that a regular country that commits atrocities would have to worry about. But they better start figuring out how to silence this outrage using the normal Israeli deception, blackmail, lies, and trickery.

Shalev is also attributed with expressing “some countries are challenging Israel’s right to exist as a result of the report.” Translation, hey this one is going to be trickier than we thought. Ask Hymie to set up a conference call before Chanukah and make sure Abe reserves the big conference room for this one.

To solidify the urgency and priority on the latest Israeli atrocity cover-up, Shalev concludes, Israel must “rely on our friends, the US and other enlightened countries.” Now I do not have to tell you, this one is secret code and translates into, hey Washington and the rest of our democracies, you are on high-alert! We will take care of your national media, you get the funds rolling in so we can start the bribes and pronto.

While I am poking fun at this, it is really intended in a more allegorical manner representing the level of concern anyone within the Israeli government feels about any published report. They are not worried. Sure, they may put up a good show of concern and alarm, but they are not worried about any repercussions. They have been committing atrocities against the Palestinians for over fifty years. But I am not joking when I say the unwavering support that the US gives to Israel, economically, militarily, financially and in every other way, is EXACTLY why the United States will be in a perpetual state of war with Israel’s enemies. Not to mention, the exact reason why American citizens and cities will be targets for Israel’s enemies.

To read more about what is included in the Goldstone Report, see the below link. To read more about what Amnesty International is saying, see the below report called “Israel/Gaza: Operation ‘Cast Lead’ – 22 Days of Death and Destruction”. Here is just one sample of what you will find there.

“Some 1,400 Palestinians were killed, including some 300 children, and hundreds of other unarmed civilians, including more than 115 women and some 85 men aged over 50 during the 22-day Operation “Cast Lead”.

Griffin is a british intelligence officer, he's been working for MI5 since 20 years now. One of Griffin's task was to clean up his party from all nationalists anti-zionist, the majority in the UK, and like zionist jew Geert Wilders, or other french 'Front National' puppets, to turn their parties as mouth-pieces of the zionist jews agenda of clash of civilisation in Europe, targeting specifically Muslims for the sake of Israel. All the far-extreme right wing parties in Europe are financed and backed by Zionist jews, from Sarkosy to Berlusconi, to Merkel, Brown and Cameron. Behind the scene Griffin is the mouthpiece of the war criminals and racists Jack Straw, and Netanyahu, their agenda is cristal clear, silence the Muslims in Europe by any mean. The same agenda the Zionists implemented during WWI and WWII...

Humiliation of Nick Griffin

Appearance of Nick Griffin, the leader of the far-right British National Party (BNP) on the BBC Program, Question Time1, has caused a furore and raised questions on the limitations of freedom of speech. Should an individual be permitted to express views that cause offence to a certain section of society? Even if the views are technically permitted by law, should the mass media encourage this by giving racist bigots like Nick Griffin a platform on a primetime TV? A more fundamental point in this debate is - should freedom of speech have a limit in the first place.

With the exception of Nick Griffin, there was consensus amongst all the panellists on the limitations of freedom of speech. Those limits specify that it is unacceptable to express views that are deemed racist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic. Most pertinently, you should not deny the holocaust; even to question this sacred subject is taboo. However, you can express anti-Islamic and anti-Muslim views, no matter how much offence it causes; in fact the more the better, because it is often used by sections of western societies as a barometer for freedom of expression. After struggling against the censorship for centuries, suddenly their freedom of expression rests on their ability to insult Islam and Muslims.

The political lightweight Nick Griffin was convincingly knocked out in the first round, and humiliated on all the issues, except when it came to the subject of Islam and Muslims. All the panellists failed to respond to the baseless anti-Islamic rants of Nick Griffin, except the ‘mufti’ ‘Syeda Warsi, whose answer was inadequate and superficial, not really worth dwelling upon.

It is not surprising for Nick Griffin to express anti-Islamic or anti-Muslim views, as a racist bigot naturally dislikes foreign people and their culture. Although, I am sure, many members of his party enjoy the Indian curry or the Turkish/Arabic kebab! I still remember the racists thugs would end up eating curry in the Indian/Pakistani restaurants in the evening, after taunting the Asian kids for smelling of curry during the day. Although these bigots were in the minority, but couple of drops of urine is sufficient to spoil a bowl of milk. The British society has progressed considerably since those times, but not the primitive members of the BNP.

When specifically asked by a member of the audience why Nick Griffin considers Islam a wicked and an evil religion, his response was on two points a) it oppresses women b) allegedly the Quran 'ordains as a religious duty the murder of Jews as well as other non-Muslims'.

Let us examine each of these points.

On the issue of women, it is perplexing as to why Nick Griffin would be concerned for Muslim women. After all, majority of the Muslims in the UK are from Asia and the Middle East, therefore clearly visible to eyes of the British National Party members, unlike the recent East European migrants!

If Islamic Laws were oppressive to women, they would naturally abandon Islamic values and exchange their modest clothing for the mini-skirt and the bikini. Nobody is forcing the Muslim women to remain as practising Muslims in secular West or in secular East. However, according to the mainstream media and major parties in the UK for some strange reasons they like to remain oppressed. What is even more puzzling, majority of the converts to Islam are in fact women, but these small details are always overlooked! How is it that such an evil religion continues to attract these women from all sections of a free society? Why do they choose to oppress themselves by embracing Islam?

The same kind of secular-prophecy was made prior to the invasion of Afghanistan; the Anglo-American forces would liberate the Afghan women from their veil. It failed. Today in certain European countries, the attitude is, if the Muslim women do not want to be liberated from their modest clothing, we will force them to do so! This is a blatant contradiction with the notion of freedom, and reflects the mindset of medieval Europe on the verge of launching a liberal-inquisition.

With regards to the second point of killing Jews and non-Muslims, Nick Griffin did not elaborate with any reference from the Quran, of substantiate it by citing scholarly works and historical examples. There is no verse in the Quran orders the indiscriminate killing of non-Muslims. On the contrary, a section of Islamic law deals with how the non-Muslim population should be protected, hence they are known as the Dhimmis, which means the protected people. It is fact that non-Muslims flourished within the Islamic Societies, Jews and Christians lived peacefully under the Muslim rule in Spain for centuries, as they did in places like India, Syria, Turkey and Palestine. In fact, facing religious persecution in Christian Europe, the Jews sought sanctuary within the Ottoman Empire, and prospered there for centuries.

The rise of BNP (British National Party) can be partially attributed to the demonisation of Muslims and Islam fanned by sections of the mainstream media. The nasty propaganda machine has often reversed the roles of victim and aggressor. The cowboys were always the virtuous people chasing the terrorists of the time, the Native Americans, often depicted as irrational wild savages; of course nothing to do with the new colonisers taking over their lands and resources. Today the impression created in the minds of the masses is that the Muslims are the anti-Semitic, illustrated by reversing the role of victim (Palestinians) and aggressor (Zionist State) in the region.

It is easy to blame others for your problem, this is the politics of the far-right according to the likes of Jack Straw and others, however, the reality is the mainstream media and the major parties have a majority share of this blame game, along with sections of the Muslim community.
